18K Gold Price History
About 18K Gold
18 karat gold is 18 parts gold to 6 parts alloy, a purity of 75%. It is the standard for European and luxury jewellery: a richer colour than 14K, and still hard enough for daily wear with reasonable care.
You will usually see it stamped 18K, 18KT or 750. The 18KT gold price per gram is the same as the 18K gold price because both marks indicate 75% gold. The 750 fineness stamp also means exactly 75% gold.
White, yellow and rose 18K all contain the same fine gold; only the alloy differs. Because three quarters of the weight is gold, 18K scrap is worth about 29% more per gram than 14K.
Price per gram is calculated from the pure gold spot price and gold purity. How prices are calculated · White gold price per gram
